Budget June 2010 - NI Changes
The NIC rates and limits were broadly frozen for 2010/11 at the 2009/10 figures.
Changes to the rates of NIC and thresholds are proposed from April 2011. As announced by the previous government the NIC primary threshold (the point at which NICs are payable) will increase and a further 1% will apply to the rates applicable to employers, employees and the self-employed.
The main rate of Class 1 (employee) NIC will be 12% and the Class 4 rate will be 9%. The employer rate will increase to 13.8%. The additional rate of Class 1 and 4 contributions payable will be increased from the current 1% to 2%.
